Question

The maximum limit of the members of the state bar council:

• A. 15
• B. 20
• C. 25
• D. None.

Hint:

The size of a State Bar Council depends on its lawyer population, with three tiers: 15, 20, or a maximum of 25 members for states with over 10,000 advocates.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Section 3(2) of the Advocates Act, 1961, specifies the composition of a State Bar Council. The number of members depends on the number of advocates on the state's electoral roll:
If the electorate is 5,000 or less, the number of members is 15.
If the electorate is between 5,000 and 10,000, the number of members is 20.
If the electorate exceeds 10,000, the number of members is 25.
Since the question asks for the maximum limit, and most states have more than 10,000 advocates, the maximum possible number of members is 25.
